Boarded the monstrous A380 but this whole trip I didnt get my window seat!
Upon arrival in Japan (aw the torturous flight in economy seats), we inevitably find some signs with broken english in the airport itself.
Boarded the airport limousine (more comfy to sleep in than the A380) to get to our hotel in Shinjuku. Massive jam = 2hr journey.
We shopped in Isetan before checking in and had our first meal. This restaurant with a complete Jap menu and classic obasan waitress who knows no English. We had to pull her our of the restaurant to point at what we want. Lol. Quite hilarious.
More shopping on the streets after Isetan. Bought my hairdye and played arcade!
Finally can check in to Keio Plaza Hotel. We can see the metropolitan government building just opposite our room. Slack shit abit before heading out again.
Dinner that night was at a friendlier restaurant with english/picture menu. And this high tech button thingy which you can touch to call the waiters.
After dinner we head to Takashimaya Times Square! The stuff were freaking expensive we diverted to Tokyu Hands soon after. And we bought a Rilakuma bear there :) Unfortunately cant find my scrapbooking materials!
Went back to the hotel to bathe (finally), and then we went out to get supper at MacDonalds!
Love walking in the streets of Japan at night.
After Macs, we went up the the highest floor louge where we can snack for free. Complimentary service that comes along with our superior room.
Then its time to sleep as we mark the closing of tour Shinjuku!
Next morning, and its really morning, we woke up at SIN time 4am to have breakfast. Because our bus to Disneyland leaves 1 hr later. Gosh, I duno where I find the appetite to eat man..
Arrival after an hour or so! Disneyland Hotel!!
Very grand :)
Checked in our baggage first and off we go to DisneySea.
Took the sky train.
The looooong Q to get in because of the summer school holidays peak period.
The minute we enter we see Mickey! Thats the closest I can get hahaha.
He looks bothered. The person inside the costume must be cursing and swearing.
Our first ride was Storm Rider! (A 4D show)
Then as we find some characters along the way, Yizhen and I will chiong while the boys follow behind as photographers. That handsome ang mo is Indiana Jones btw.
And then its food, food and more food.
Under The Sea, Under The Sea!
Where we watched the mermaid theatre show. Last year it was renovating. Man, it was good, except the fact that the mermaid actually looks like a guy. Too bad no photography allowed. Its like those $100 show you pay for in stadiums you know.
And my act cute stint begins after I buy the minnie headband.
After DisneySea we took the train to Ikspiari for branded shopping!
Lunched there and again theres this high tech pager they give you at the foodcourt which will beep once your food is ready for collection. I am sua ku.
I think I probably ate 3 bowls of ramen for the whole trip. Thats 1 per day.
After return from Ikspiari where I bought nothing~~
We checked into our rooms!
Puggy's parents got the park grand view room where you can see the castle and main entrance!
I love our Peter Pan room's wallpaper! And how each person in the room is given a card key with our names printed on.
Even the dustbin and the toilet bowl control pad above the toilet paper amaze me.
Check out our alcove beds!!!
Im sorry the tiny pictures doesnt illustrate the disney theme very well. But there are hidden mickeys / tinkerbell all around the decors of the room! Subtle and nice!
Then after being amazed by their service and the rooms, we got amazed by their Ice Room.
At the push of a button!
Puggy don't want to be the Beast lol.
After checking in and enough of resting, we went back to DisneySea for Part II.
Dinner before the night show!
Bravissimo!
The love story between a flaming dragon and a calm water spirit thingy.
Back to the hotel after some shopping at the stores
Bathe and change into the pyjamas provided for us!
So cute 4 of us wearing the same thing.
I am so gonna gain weight with the tiramisu before bed!
Next morning, we woke up real early for DisneyLand.
Highlight of the whole trip!
I wore my Snow White shirt, tied 2 pony tails and wore the minnie headband.
Act cute to the max!
Even special entrance to the theme park took us quite long.
First ride is Space Mountain, this super fast roller coaster in the dark with tons of stars rushing into ur face. Good news is, I still enjoyed it since the last time I took it with my parents. Bad news is, because of the bread I ate in the morning, I puked while we were Q-ing to take photo with Mickey in ToonTown. :(
That legendary photo with Mickey. I went through so much for it lor. Luckily he gave me a kiss and said my headband is cute. I die with no regrets Hahaha.
Next on the itinery is Haunted Mansion!
Puggy was amused by the tombstone.
Then the must-take ride, Small Small World.
We mistook that character on the right to be 1 of the 7 dwarfs.
But he's actually a character from Peter Pan :X Oops.
Our lunch at Lucky nuggets cafe.
Followed by the afternoon show "Cool The Heat". Last year's was nicer!
Then we took a photo outside SweetHeart Cafe, just like what we did last year :)
Puggy refuse to buy the headband so I made him pose with me.
While we were returning to the hotel for dinner, we saw ALOT of characters outside!
Eeyore, Alice, the cricket and Pinnochio!
And the 7 dwarfs!
Angry was cute. He stamped his feet when he sees me. I stamped back. Then he repeatedly stamped many times before we took that photo. Then that ah pek dwarf touched my belly after I showed him snow white on my shirt. And he attempt to throw the bad apple away.
Shy pose is so adorable. haha. And Dopey, some little girl asked for his signature. He wrote it out slowly but with "e" and "y" mirrored. So cute!
Dinner was buffet in the hotel
Still loving the desserts!
Back to DisneyLand after tt for the night show.
We were actually late and missed the first part.
But I feel last year's was nicer!
Our level was Goofy on the stained glass window.
After bathing we walked around the hotel for phototaking.
Our last night of the trip! :(
We were really relieved to learn that we were not affected by this major typhoon that hit China/Taiwan region and Tokyo was raining superb heavily that morning. Everyone was braving the wind with their ponchos to walk into Disneyland!
We are also lucky to have missed the big earthquake after we left Japan.
Actually we felt a mini earthquake while we were shopping in the big Emporium of Disneyland, the chandeliers were shaking so badly!
Took the bus to Narita airport. Our lunch at the foodcourt.
Back to o-boring-Singapore.
And thats what I've bought. Severe damage with the last splurge on that Ralph Lauren Tote at the airport with whatever we have left. Cost almost $200. But am happy to find that Singapore stores are not selling :D My 2nd branded bag!
Though broke, I am looking forward to the next holiday already.
Where will it be?
